The Number One Mistake People I Interview Are Making These Days

I'm the Managing Editor of Business Insider, which means I'm
responsible for all of the editorial hiring here.

So I'm constantly meeting people of all different levels, from
interns to senior editors.

Lately, the majority of people I interview have one thing in
common.

They're all messing up on something that I think is very
important when trying to get a job: the Thank You Email.

Whether we spent thirty minutes meeting in the offices; we Skyped
because you're abroad for your Junior spring semester; or we did
a quick first-round phone interview, too many people are
forgetting to follow up later that day or the next day with a
quick email.

It doesn't have to be anything too involved. Truthfully, the
shorter the better.
